Euro Sports

The Angels-Red Sox game yesterday was awesome, with the Angels coming from behind to win the game and sweep the series...heh! Unfortch, they had a bit of a let down tonight against Cleveland.

Most of the big sports news from from Europe. At the British Open, Greg Norman squandered a 4th round lead quickly (surprise, surprise) and blew his chance to win the tournament. Very disappointing in that it's a rare day when a dude older than me wins a big individual sporting event. Padraig Harrington, the now two-time winner, was steady and delivered the knock-out shots when he needed them. Pretty incredible since they were playing in a freaking gale.

There's probably not greater group of self-flaggelating athletes than professional cyclists. Either their sport is the dirtiest or has the best drug testing program. Then they whine about their sport being tainted. Either way, it amazes me how many guys get caught cheating in the Tour de France. This after the 2006 "winner" Floyd Landis has his crown taken away for failing a drug test. These guys know they're going to be tested, yet it seems like every other day a rider (or his team) is being given the boot. Just shows how the Euros are much better sportsmen than our steroid ingesting baseball and football players....not.
